Letter Thirteen: What's under Seymour's bed?


My Love,
            I have just received your letter on my way out to the Barrister’s ball. Your brother has agreed to escort me this evening in your absence—such a sweetheart. Dearest I am wholly sure that you and I would have been the sweetest young lovers if we had crossed paths early on. I would have stunned you with my impressive patchwork, keen ear for cello and liquor tolerance. Oh, Ambrosia found a drawing of a nude woman under little Seymour’s mattress when she was tending the beds today. I spoke to Seymour and he apologized for illustrating such indecency (although it was rather skillfully done and strikingly resembled Loretta.) I am glad that he is pursuing his talents but I do wish he would take more interest in croquet and hunting. Well darling, I must go—Benjamin acquired some France imported Absinthe to commence the evening with! Play as rough on the field as you do in our bed.

P.S. I've included the indecent drawing your son illustrated. It's very well done, don't you think?

Your giddy darling,
Muffy
